Technological Advances Leading To The Diminishing Of Privacy Rights, Anabelle Maria D'Souza Mar 2003

Technological Advances Leading To The Diminishing Of Privacy Rights, Anabelle Maria D'Souza

LLM Theses and Essays

The Purpose of this thesis is to bring about the awareness of the importance of privacy in our lives. Privacy is an essential element of a free society without which individuals would lose the ability to interact with one another in private. With the advancement in police surveillance technology there is a clash between an individuals right to keep a secret and the State’s power to penetrate that secret. State of the art technologies such as the financial crimes enforcement network, wearable computing and surveillance cameras are some of the latest devices invading privacy. These technological advances have become so …

"Death Is Different" - Is Money Different? Criminal Punishments, Forfeitures, And Punitive Damages - Shifting Constitutional Paradigms For Assessing Proportionality, Rachel A. Van Cleave Jan 2003

"Death Is Different" - Is Money Different? Criminal Punishments, Forfeitures, And Punitive Damages - Shifting Constitutional Paradigms For Assessing Proportionality, Rachel A. Van Cleave

Publications

Part I of this Article reviews the case law regarding judicial review of both terms of imprisonment and imposition of the death penalty. In this section, I argue for consistency within this area of the law. Some jurisprudence suggests that, because "death is different," proportionality review is appropriate only in the death penalty context, and is either not required or only applies in an extremely narrow example, such as life imprisonment for a parking ticket. Part II examines Supreme Court precedent that analyzes the question of proportionality of forfeitures and punitive damages awards. In the context of forfeitures, the debate …

State Revocation Of Law Enforcement Officers' Licenses And Federal Criminal Prosecution: An Opportunity For Cooperative Federalism, Roger L. Goldman Jan 2003

State Revocation Of Law Enforcement Officers' Licenses And Federal Criminal Prosecution: An Opportunity For Cooperative Federalism, Roger L. Goldman

All Faculty Scholarship

This article suggests ways that Department of Justice Attorneys who prosecute state and local law enforcement officers for violation of civil rights under 18 USC §§ 241 and 242 could use state laws that permit revocation of law enforcement officers’ licenses. Whereas federal criminal convictions of non-law enforcement defendants are close to 100%, statistics indicate that when law enforcement officers are go to trial in federal court, the conviction rate is closer to 50%. Thus, if a jury is unlikely to convict because of its natural sympathies towards the officer, prosecutor should seriously consider permitting the officer to agree to …

How City Hall Causes Sprawl - A Case Study (Book Review), Michael Lewyn Jan 2003

How City Hall Causes Sprawl - A Case Study (Book Review), Michael Lewyn

Scholarly Works

Some commentators have labeled Atlanta, Ga. as America's poster child for sprawl. Atlanta is highly auto-oriented, and suffers from higher levels of traffic congestion and air pollution than most other cities. This book review explains how sprawl happened in Atlanta - not through the mysterious invisible hand of the free market, but through transportation and zoning decisions made by city officials.


An Overview Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act And Its Implications For Attorneys, Jeffrey W. Stempel Jan 2003

An Overview Of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act And Its Implications For Attorneys, Jeffrey W. Stempel

Scholarly Works

On July 30, 2002, President Bush signed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, H.R. 3763, well-publicized in the press as a legislative response to the perceived excesses of corporate America: Enron; WorldCom; Tyco; Global Crossing, etc.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 contains an array of provisions affecting lawyers as professionals serving businesses and contains one provision that will clearly impact corporate counsel in the ethical discharge of their duties. Section 307 of the Act and the recently released Proposed Roles of the Securities Exchange Commission regarding lawyer duties and implementation of Section 307 require counsel to go "up the ladder," to …
